Destiny is what is written in the book of Allah (where he has forseen the result of your actions, decisions and heart and its consequences) And have written them in the book and governed your life accordingly.
i.e. he has given us free will to make our own life based on our heart and what we would ask for and knows what the end result will be. And helps us to achieve those goals.
Hence a person who loves this world will have it and suffer the consequences. And a person who loves the hereafter will be given means to achieving that goal as well. And Allah is the sustainer and provides our wealth and sustanence as he sees fit!
Luck is a blessing from Allah in my opinion. As not everything can be by circumstance as it would be improbable to happen so many times in a persons life.
About this: During the US housing booming sprawls, lots of residential communities were build in public state lands. The acres of land and the housing location are famous for Civil War battles areas, where thousand of soldiers died in battle. That is what I called spooky. Another spooky event: You buy house at a very cheap deal. The only problem, no one tells you, that inside that house, there was a mass murder 15 years ago. I got elfs living in my property. "Every once in a while, declare peace -- it confuses the hell out of your enemies." - Quark quotes a Rule of Acquisition, "The Homecoming"
See you guys are all looking at it from a weird prespective!
Luck is simply something good that happens that is unexpected.. If it is expected, then it is not longer luck. Hence, expect the worst, and you'll always be lucky.
Destiny (although I don't believe in it myself), is supposed to be the outcome of what was always meant to be. To many people use this excuse not to try and better themselves.
One day, I was driving home, I saw a dead person jump, the 8 foot wall of our municipal cemetery and levitated across to the nearest highway lane. Of course, after he got hit by the 18 wheel truck at 120 kilometers an hour. For sure he was real dead for a second time. 15 years later there is a residential hub with malls and the cross of the dead man still there. "Every once in a while, declare peace -- it confuses the hell out of your enemies." - Quark quotes a Rule of Acquisition, "The Homecoming"
I honestly believe I've been lucky all my life and I'm happy with that.
I suspect it's all to do with what you consider to be lucky in your life. For sure I've had bad times and people I didn't want to die did, but I like to look on the bright side.
aka My glass is half full NOT half empty, and I think if you have that philosophy you will never be disappointed at what fate/destiny throws at you.
It's a frame of mind. Or as Scarlett and Richard would say 'mindset' (uggy American term lol) :D
Your definition would depend whether you view death as:
1. Evolution, 2. reincarnation 3. or resurrection & judgment.
I view destiny into two:
1. absolute or pre-destination as jaunti mentioned- means beyond our control e.g our family, race. It is program by higher beings if you believe in 2 or 3 above
2. free will- it means with our choices we shape our lives as thexo was saying. E.g. education, work, single or married. Other people say being single or married is a destiny but I think it is a choice.
See here's the thing, God approves of certain things, not all of them. People choose certain things. If we decide to go to club to drink, i dont think thats in our destiny or even luck. Which is why i dont believe in luck or destiny unless if its something supernatural like birht or death.
The word "Kismet" (alt., rarely, "Kismat") derives from the Arabic word "qismah", and entered the English language via the Turkish word "kısmet" meaning either "the will\save Allah" or "portion, lot or fate".
In English, the word is synonymous with "Fate" or "Destiny"."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny
Hmmm I guess that's a bit like inshallah !
Now then, the question is .... do any of you think you are destined for anything in particular in this life?
I think I DO believe in fate .. i.e. some pre-destined path or happenings in my life along the way.
Did anyone see that film (can't remember the name of it) which was about what happened to a woman when she missed the train she was supposed to catch?
The film showed what would have happened, had she caught that train and also what happened when she missed it. Was it called 'Revolving Doors'?
Whatever it was, her 'destiny' was completely altered by that one, little different action she took in her life.
Bit like if you missed a flight which then crashed, killing everyone on board.
Is that luck??? Or weren't you destined to die at that moment in your life.
I'm rambling ...... LOL It's because I keep changing my mind about it! :/
Luck and destiny are just plain excuses that humans use to convince themselves, i dont believe in either one of them. Except for birth and death, those r the only 2 things that god has written, rest of the things are the choices we make. If they are right choices, god helps us, if they are wrong then we listen to the devil. Otherwise, the rest is just some kind of coincidence. In my opinion there is no such thing as "couples are made in heaven" to me thats just another excuse.
It's always the small things that make big differences.
"Be Like a Flower, Which gives off it's fragrance even to the hand that crushes it"--- Imam Ali (A.S)
Destiny is knowing where your target is and working towards hitting it.
Luck is knowing the lights are out and just shooting in the dark hoping to hit the target..if you hit, your lucky ;)
The difference between the two is obviously obvious for obvious reasons. For Eg: Darude paragliding one sunny morning and suddenly a wind comes and blows him away to some far off jungle where he meet a wonderful beautiful woman and gets married and have many little cubs together..thats called luck.
Destiny is where Darude goes paragliding one sunny morning andsuddenly a wind comes and blows him away to some far off jungle where he meet a wonderful beautiful woman BUT then smokey comes and steals her right under his nose.
"Destiny", these are things/events you cannot change: win or lose, good or bad. I think it is normally used by the faithful or the romantics, or maybe the dramatics.
"Luck", a normal incident in our life, a chance or circumstance
They may be used interchangeably, according to your mood.
If you believe in Destiny then you also believe in Fate.
In business you can be 'destined for greater things' then Fate deals you a blow (someone gets to the boss before you do) and so you may not achieve your destiny.
On the other hand, Lady Luck may play a part in this, and by chance you get to the boss before the other person does and there you have it.
You had a destiny and got lucky.
OK don't stare at me! It's how it always worked for me :D
destiny refers to a major event in your life...like you are destined to work in a foreign land, or getting married....etc
luck are events that lead you to achieve those dreams or goal in an easy way. like bumping to stranger who happens to be the general manager of a large company and will extend his influence in getting you for the job.

Well if he drowns, he is gone already, that the person is just plain silly in calling out destiny by getting themselves into a situation not easy to get out of. This is not luck for me.

Was a nice quiet location :D Nice flowers too :D
Destiny - to describe our failures
Luck- to describe abt the success of our enimies....

LUCK ????? NO WAYYYY ....
Everyone will reach his/her destiny no matter they are lucky or not.
Luck comes when some one happens to make their dreams come true..
i do believe in luck, pure-luck to be exact.
Destiny-nahh..

DaRuDe, Destiny is when your married GF from junior high. Luck is when you meet her now for only one nite stand (no married). LOL
Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.
destiny refers to a major event in your life...like you are destined to work in a foreign land, or getting married....etc
luck are events that lead you to achieve those dreams or goal in an easy way. like bumping to stranger who happens to be the general manager of a large company and will extend his influence in getting you for the job.

Hmm, your asking if a man drowns or not, is it destiny or luck?
I'd say neither! It's man versus nature!
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose!
Such is life! There is a saying "SHlT HAPPENS!"
It's not pleasant, but to question every occurance and believe that there are forces for every action is a little naive!
Well if he drowns, he is gone already, that the person is just plain silly in calling out destiny by getting themselves into a situation not easy to get out of. This is not luck for me.
Luck is when he actually survives.
But hopefully your destiny is a good one???
If your destiny sucks then your unklucky...
So I guess not the same....
You can't teach experience...
tell me a person goes swimming he drawns now 2 options
if he gets saved some how by some one or he tries himself so whats that?
Or if drawns totally and dies whats that?
[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
It is very simple!!!
Destiny comes from having the wisdom to recognise one's luck!
Destiny is where you will be of what you did to your life.
While luck is what they give for a reason they do not really planned to and it did...
"There's nothing we can do to change the past, if it teaches you a lesson profit from it then, forget it."
Luck is one, when you are happy with your destiny
saddavi was i think digging my profile and found my ever first topic on QL
haha it was just a simple question nothing is or was wrong with me and kindly check the date of topic guys lol

if you have a good destiny, why do you need luck then.
Luck is when you have a good destiny
